a couple questions

everything works great, except that it doesnt seem to want to remember my mouse and keyboard settings. am i doing something wrong? how to i make these settings stick when i go back & play next time? it's kind of random tho - sometimes it remembers, sometimes it doesnt.

also, all my opponents look like green tank. boring. how do i make them appear as the model & skin they've chosen?

It should. If it doesn't one way to force things is that when you have it set up how you like it:

\writeconfig autoexec

in the console.

However this makes it so that changes to your settings won't save in the future unless you do the same.

It did that to me when I first started a few weeks back. then all of a sudden the keyboard and other settings took and stayed, the only difference I could see was that I started playing in Google chrome and I did nothing else.

It was frustrating and I was glad they finally stayed changed good luck to you, hope someone that knows about this will help you, I would like to hear the reason also

are you saying that any time i make a settings change in the future i'll have to type \writeconfig autoexec to make the new changes stick?

The best thing would be for you to understand why.

"/writeconfig" is a command used to... write your config to a file. The file's name is decided by the command's argument, the second word. So if you type "/writeconfig potato", it will create a file named potato.cfg and save your settings there. You can apply the settings saved in a file by using the command "/exec". So, to apply what's saved in potato.cfg, you would use "/exec potato.cfg".

There is a special config file that Quake Live will look for and execute by itself without you having to use "/exec" every time you launch QL : autoexec.cfg. If you do "/writeconfig autoexec" as suggested, this file will be created with the settings you have at this time and everytime you'll launch QL, it will override your settings with those in autoexec.cfg. So if you make any change, you'll lose them at the next automatic execution of autoexec.cfg unless you save them in this very file.
